Capita SIMS Independent Schools Conference

Most people don't believe they are capable of initiative

Making a ‘tweak’ was never an option

• CHQ is designed to help schools solve practical but complex problems

• Interdependency of departments, people and activities

• Small changes were never going to conquer the big challenges

CHQ had to be bold:

Allow people to work together

Allow people to be more effective

Allow people to make decisions

Allow simpler and more timely communication

Allow people to take initiative

Improving Decision Making in Activities & Sports

Understanding how sports and activities are being used helps optimise a school’s resources Are facilities and assets being

optimised?

Which activities are most popular?

Are students taking advantage of the options available?

Are students turning up?

Are they safe?

Are more staff required to supervise extra-curricular?

SAM HART, HEAD OF SPORT, WINCHESTER COLLEGE

“CHQ allows a complex programme to be pulled together with ease, allocating different year groups to different times or locations.

“The ability to generate attendance registers for the Master in Charge of a session is first rate, and the feedback to the House Dons has ensured that participation rates in sport have never been higher.

“House Dons are taking sport seriously and boys now know they’re being monitored for the first time. CHQ is proving to be an real asset.”
